Apple's iPad vs. e-readers
Apple's iPad is a multi-function device that focuses on multimedia and some productivity apps, but also functions as an e-reader with a new iBook store of EPub format books.
2010: Year of the E-reader

Is it a device (tablet or otherwise) that has an LCD screen? Or does software turn any device into an e-Reader?
